there'd be no distance that could hold us back

This is the chance I have to take before I think about it too much. I’m going to hold my breath and maybe when I see prickly foreign shadows and my vision starts to go funny I might let go, but only if the air is fresh and I can feel the wintry tingle of change somewhere in my chest. With any luck, the horizon’s curve will find its way onto our faces.


all i wanted to do was sneak out into the night and disappear somewhere,
and go and find out what everybody was doing all over the country.
